I-CAT® CONE BEAM 3D DENTAL IMAGING SYSTEM

  • Plans each case with Greater Accuracy & Better Clinical Tools than possible with traditional 2D radiographs.
  • Use the lower dose 4.8 second scan to capture dramatically more information in detailed 3D images while managing radiation dose.
    Captures Orthodontic Initial Records and Airway Assessments in a Single Scan in less than 5 seconds.
  • The single scan allows us to create 3D virtual models, ELIMINATING the need for uncomfortable orthodontic impressions.
  • Captures precisely accurate 3D views to analyze teeth, roots, TMJ, airway, and sinuses without magnification or distortion.
  • Provides a soft tissue scan and airway analysis that shows us if your child’s airway is “open” or if it is restricted and can detect blockages and obstructions in the upper respiratory tract (nasal cavity and pharynx) that can contribute to poor airway function, health and sleep apnea.

LightScalpel® CO2 laser

Dentist Service Redmond WA

At Yarmosky Pediatric Dentistry, we are proud to offer you the best in soft tissue laser technology by using the LightScalpel® CO2 laser.

WHAT IS A LIGHTSCAPEL® CO2 LASER?
The LightScalpel® CO2 laser is a device that produces a concentrated beam of light. The highly focused CO2 laser beam vaporizes, cleanly and precisely, while sealing blood vessels at the same time. Years of experience in medicine and oral surgery went into the design of the LightScalpel® laser, which was made to provide superior care for patients.

WHAT IS LASER SURGERY AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Traditional surgery with a scalpel or scissors can bruise or crush tissue. When we use the LightScalpel® CO2 laser, only an intense beam of laser light interacts with the tissue. There is no mechanical trauma to the tissue and the coagulation zone is very narrow (as little as 50 microns – almost the width of a human hair).

The CO2 laser has the unique ability to vaporize or ‘erase’ tissue. The CO2 laser can be used to make incisions, as well as to remove unhealthy tissue. Our laser is so precise that it can selectively remove only a few cells at a time, if needed. At the same time, it is powerful enough to de-bulk the largest of tumors.

ARE LIGHTSCALPEL® LASER PROCEDURES SAFE?
When used according to accepted guidelines by a trained practitioner, the laser is as safe as other instruments. You will wear special protective glasses, just as you would when you protect your eyes from sun exposure.

IS LASER SURGERY APPROPRIATE FOR MY CHILD?
A laser can perform a wide variety of dental soft-tissue surgical procedures comfortably and with very little post-operative discomfort. Please see the links below to read more information and see articles related to the use and benefits of the CO2 laser.
